Zzig-Zzagging thru Kent (part I) - "Intro"

Now that i`ve been here for quite a while (almost 3 weeks) i think i should be able to give you all a pretty good impression of what life is like here at Kent Uni...

First of all, the weather is "bloody" horrible! I can`t stand it! I wake up, i look outside, it`s sunny and warm, i get dressed, i open the door to get out and it`s raining... I go back in to get a jacket, go out, and the sun is back! That`s why 99.9% of all foreign students who come here suffer from the so-called "fresher`s flu". It`s actually a combination of all the germs in the world, added up into one huge and extremely fast travelling, mucus releasing, cough causing, headache producing nightmare.

One more thing that i don`t like here is the public transport system... It`s said to be efficient and always on time, but it`s actually a nightmare if you ever need to get somewhere fast (especially to school)... Not only does it cost A LOT (i paid more for a 1-year ticket than i`ve ever paid in Romania on RATB, CFR and Taxi alltogether since i was born- £120), but it`s also never on time! I already lost 2 lectures and a theatER casting because of that! Oh well, hopefully i`ll get a scooter soon... :-<

Obviously, i`m not going to talk about school stuff cause thats boring, but i will talk about the things you can do on campus to have fun... There is an infinite number of clubs and societies you can join - from skydiving and kung-fu to sado-maso and gay clubs, you can do virtually any activity you can think of just by joining these clubs. What is even ironic is that the neighboring Christ Church University has a pagan club... :)) Furthermore, there is a huge club on campus where you can go dance, get drunk and barf (however you have to pay a lot to get to that state...)

I forgot to mention that food is VERY expensive! It`s quite hard to eat well (and healthy) with less than 8 pounds per day...

*looks at watch and fraks out*

Shit! I have to go to my next lecture! I`ll come back soon with a post about parties, social events and other interesting stuff about Kent Uni and about life in Canterbury in general.
